Places vs Addresses

I've started using Gramps recently and it seems to be going quite well. It takes a while to work out how things hang together but I've got the hang of most of it at this stage I think.

I'm missing something pretty basic though - I've populated up a few 'places' which I know to be family homes throughout the generations. I assumed I could then link these places to individuals but I can't find out how to do it.

When editing an individual you can enter an address but it looks to be free form each time. You can link an address to a pre-defined source but not to a place.

In this case I would like to have a place defined as "Castle Zag", with historical records, photos, etc . . . recorded for the location and then for the 4 generations of my family that have lived there I would just link to the "Castle Zag" record.

I can't see how to do this - can someone shed some light on this please ?

Thanks,

z (not actually of Castle Zag unfortunately)
